When you first open the app, you will see several basic coding lessons, puzzles, and challenges. It's all very reminiscent to Codecademy, but it's much more visually-friendly with loads of graphics and playful features. In fact, with this app, Apple seems to be targeting children.

First announced in WWDC 2016, Swift Playgrounds is meant for beginners with no experience in coding. There's even a special keyboard with specific shortcuts, with the purpose of making it easier to enter code.
